On April 1, we attended Disability Advocacy Day at the Capitol. This in-person event focused on connecting directly with legislators, sharing personal stories, and advocating for policy change, centered around the message, “With Medicaid, we can live, work, play, and flourish.”

The day included speakers from the Iowa Disability Policy Alliance, self-advocates, family advocates, and legislators, along with an advocacy training led by the DD Council. Our group also had the opportunity to connect with legislators and learned the process of submitting a request to speak with their representative or senator. One of our ambassadors shared how a recent pay increase at work impacted the number of hours she is able to work due to income limits—highlighting the real-life challenges many individuals face.

We left encouraged to keep advocating, even when time with legislators is limited or unavailable. Lunch was provided by Triple B’s, a Johnston-based restaurant and catering team that empowers teens and young adults with disabilities through meaningful work experience and skill-building opportunities.
